As technological advances create a world of fast-paced lifestyles in which anything is possible with just a few clicks, it seems like a good time to embrace The Good Life – right?

COVID-19 isn’t far behind us, and the cost-of-living crisis rages on. Right now, many of us are stopping to question the legitimacy of our current supply chains – not to mention how we live more holistically.

This panel will see guests come together to share their motivations for everything from farm-to-table and upcycling to off-grid living and slow fashion. These are interventions that contribute to a circular economy – but how much can they really curb climate change or bring about the end of a throwaway society?
